That gets the easy solution out of the way ;-)

/me slaps head.

Having 10.3 in the directory names is intentional, the version in the  
directory name is the value of MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET, with is  
defaulted to 10.3 in the configure script.

What  I don't understand yet is why your copy of libz doesn't have  
inflateCopy. What does /usr/lib/libz.dylib point to on your system?  
On my 10.4 box it is a symlink that points to libz.1.2.3.dylib and  
there is an older version of libz (libz.1.1.3.dylib) in /usr/lib as  
well.
